McLaren Racing has today announced Trend Micro, a global cybersecurity leader, as an Official Partner of the McLaren Formula 1 Team for the remainder of the 2025 season and beyond. 

Trend is helping fast paced organisations like McLaren Racing stay ahead of threats by safeguarding operational systems and sensitive data, and ensuring operations remain secure.

Trend has been part of the McLaren Racing family since 2023, previously being an Official Partner of the NEOM McLaren Formula E Team.

Cybersecurity is a critical part of modern motorsports, where milliseconds and data can make all the difference. The partnership continues to bring together two brands with innovation at the heart of what they do and a commitment to securing evolving and fast-paced environments.

As part of the partnership, Trend will engage customers and partners through a series of unique, high-touch moments throughout the Formula 1 season, combining world-class hospitality with access to the McLaren team and opportunities for deeper conversations around cybersecurity innovation and leadership – all designed to deliver the full Trend Experience.

Matt Dennington, Co-Chief Commercial Officer, McLaren Racing, said: 

“It is fantastic to have Trend join the McLaren Formula 1 Team as an Official Partner. Their expertise was invaluable when supporting the team in electric racing and we’re excited to build on that strong foundation as we head into this next chapter together.” 

Kevin Simzer, Chief Operating Officer at Trend, said:  

"Partnering with McLaren Racing is more than just a sponsorship, it’s about shared mindset. We are both committed to being the best in our industries, pushing the boundaries of innovation with an eye for speed, security, and customer-first experiences that drive lasting impact. We’re excited to take this journey together and what it means to stay ahead of the curve and lead with confidence in a fast-moving world.”
